  • Rf LTW Chiltern Response
    campaigning by the Railway Development Society Limited Development of Train Services for Chiltern Routes Response from Railfuture 1. Introduction Railfuture is pleased to respond to the London TravelWatch document regarding the Development of Train Services for Chiltern Routes. Our comments will be brief and to the point. Railfuture is the campaigning name of the Railway Development Society Limited, a (not for profit) Limited Company organised in England as twelve regional branches plus two national branches in Scotland and Wales. This coordinated response has been compiled by Railfuture London & South East, and has been agreed with Railfuture Thames Valley for those sections of line in their area (Amersham to Aylesbury and West Ruislip to Bicester North). 2. General Comments Railfuture welcomes the initiative from LTW to suggest ways of raising standards of service on Chiltern Railways services in London and South East. We note the work that has gone into gathering the detail on network capacity and existing services. Chiltern is unique for a number of reasons: its close working relationship and shared infrastructure with London Underground (LU) on the Aylesbury Line; the close proximity of other LU and London Bus services to many Chiltern ‘metro’ stations on the High Wycombe line; the close mix of short and medium distance commuter traffic and the poor interchange facilities at Marylebone. It is equally unique for the impressive increase in patronage generated by reliable modern rolling stock and infrastructure; the benefits of a long-term franchise agreement and an imaginative customer oriented professional management team. It is also inhibited by many of the factors that make it unique! These range from the poor interchange facilities at Marylebone, to a lack of infrastructure between Wembley and West Ruislip.

  • The Financial Impact of the Great Central Railway's London Extension
    The financial impact of the Great Central Railway’s London extension By Tony Sheward © Tony Sheward 2020 1 THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY’S LONDON EXTENSION 1. Introduction The general opinion of authorities, who have written about the Great Central Railway’s (GCR) London Extension, seems to be that the project was not a financial success and acted as a drag on the company’s performance in the years following its opening. This article attempts to examine the financial results of the GCR in the years immediately leading up to the decision to commit to the project, the construction period, and operations from its opening up to 1913. It seeks to discover whether there were other factors, which influenced its financial performance either positively or negatively. For convenience, the title Great Central Railway is used throughout even though this name was not adopted by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway until 1897. A glossary of the abbreviations for the various lines is included at the end. The detailed financial figures are presented in four time periods as follows: a. The Immediate Years Prior to Work on the London Extension 1887-93 b. Construction of the London Extension Phase I 1894-99 c. Construction of the London Extension Phase II 1900-06 d. The Years after Completion of the London Extension Work 1907-13 The article takes as its main source the annual reports of GCR1 and the Railway Returns2. The historical background for the article is mainly taken from published sources, in particular the three-part history of the GCR by George Dow3 and the short history of the GCR by Robert Hartley.4 Although up to 1912, the annual reports were prepared in two half yearly tranches, the information in this article is presented by calendar year for ease of understanding and comparison.

  • Cumulative Index Issues 1 - 87
    Cumulative Index Issues 1 - 87 Indexing is principally by location, i.e. station / goods yard / depot / etc name. Some line names are indexed too (including all Underground lines) – but the items are always listed under loca- tion name as well. (Articles about a single station only are not necessarily included in the ‘line’ entry). For dead-end branches the terminus station name should be looked up. The name used for stations etc is usually the name applicable in the early BR period (if still open), or the name used at the time of closure (if closed). However no precise or pedantic policy has been followed on this! Stations commonly referred to by more than one name are cross-referenced. Where two or more consecutive stations with the same name existed on different but nearby sites on the same line, no distinction is made. Where there are two or more stations on different lines with the same, or confusingly-similar, names, the company name is appended for clarity. DLR stations are listed individually but Croydon Tramlink stops are not (except, some- times, those that are former stations). Minor refurbishments (including LT retilings), temporary closures, lift replacements, etc are not included in the indexing. Italics indicate current news items (in the For The Record pages). The listing of a long run of pages does not necessarily mean that every one of the pages in question will have references to the station etc in question. All photographs taken at stations etc are listed under the station etc name, except where virtually nothing is visible of the station structures.

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • 3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R
    No. 9 The “3.20 Down Manchester,” L.N.E.R. First published in the Meccano Magazine September 1927 It was something of a shock to the well-established London and North Western and Great Northern Railways when the Midland signified its intention of extending its ramified system southward to its own terminus in London and, as an earnest of the intention, ran a line through Bedford to Hitchin and monopolised a large share of the Great Northern main line into King’s Cross until its own St. Pancras Station was ready in 1868. Still more of a surprise, perhaps, was given to all these three companies when, nearly at the close of last century, in the face of determined opposition, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway obtained Parliamentary powers to do exactly the same thing. Prior to the opening of the “London Extension” in 1899, the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire was an important system crossing the country from Cleethorpes and Grimsby in the east, through Sheffield and Barnsley to Manchester in the west, with a share in the large joint railway known as the Cheshire Lines Committee, and important interests in North Wales, its southernmost tentacle extended to Annesley, near Nottingham. The powers obtained enabled the M.S. and L. Company to prolong this line southward through Nottingham, Leicester and Rugby to a 1 junction with the London Metropolitan Railway, which had advanced northward to a point beyond Aylesbury. As a result of this vastly important development the provincial railway required a new name, and included in the Parliamentary powers was the authority to change its name from Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire to the imposing title of “Great Central” Railway.
